This 2014 Ford has 14 MOT tests on record with a 71% pass rate and 23,270 miles. While mileage is low, the repeated advisories and failures point to ongoing maintenance needs.

Things to check
- DANGEROUS brake failure on 2022-10-15 (52,243 mi) — critical safety concern.
- Recurring suspension ball joint failures (2022-10-15, 2023-10-15) and advisories (2023-10-15).
- Persistent tyre advisories across 10 tests (2018-10-15, 2019-10-11, 2023-10-15, 2024-10-15, 2025-10-15).
- Major steering failure on 2022-10-15 (52,243 mi) and 2023-10-15 (55,967 mi).
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed despite 4 historical failures
- Valid MOT until 2026-10-15, offering immediate peace of mind.
- Consistent, low annual mileage (5,456 mi/yr) suggests light use and less wear.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage discrepancies.
